'•I have read the book [PenikeseJ with great 

 interest and think it an admirable remini- 

 scence of one of the greatest naturalists of the 

 nineteenth century. The name of Agassi/, is 

 assuredly treaured by all true lovers of na- 

 ture and his methods of study have left a strik- 

 ing impress on present-day workers."— (Rev.
